Oh, sheesh! This demerits/merits chart for the beleaguered wife of 1939 is enough to make me burn my bra, start spelling woman with a "y," and wear "soiled and ragged dresses" around town. No wonder she was "slow in coming to bed." She was trying to figure out how to sneak out the window so she could "flirt with other men at parties or restaurants."
